Chapter 390: Visiting the Elders
Zhuang Haiyang, who returned to Nanzhou after his trip to Yunnan Province, also began to prepare for going abroad. In the past, relatives and friends who needed New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival naturally had to say hello before going abroad, so as not to be said that they were rude.
Although I really want to take my sister's family to a ranch abroad for the holiday, I think that my sister will go back to her hometown to worship her ancestors during the Spring Festival, so it is naturally not good to be absent. deliberately took his niece to the island for two days before Zhuang Haiyang set off for overseas.
Other comrades-in-arms who went to Yunnan Province together have also embarked on a journey home in the past few days. Most of the comrades-in-arms who arranged to stay behind were a little moved when they saw that everyone else had decided to take their families out for the New Year. But some old people still don't want to come out.
For many elderly people, staying at home rather than going out during the Spring Festival is a reminder. Even so, Nanshan Island this Spring Festival will be more lively than ever. As for the materials needed for the New Year, Zhuang Haiyang has also prepared a lot.
Before leaving, looking at Zhao Cheng who came to see him off, Zhuang Haiyang also said seriously: "During the Chinese New Year, the affairs on the island will be handed over to you." Before the Spring Festival, you take the time to catch a batch of local chickens raised on a desert island and send them to the town. ”
"Well, don't worry! I've written down everything you have explained, and I won't delay it. ”
"That's good, if there's anything at home, call me at any time. If there's something you can't solve, call my friend Fatty. He can't solve it, so you can call me, and I'll arrange it then. ”
Considering that the fishing market is very popular during the Spring Festival, Zhuang Haiyang does not want the tranquility of the leased desert island to be broken. In this case, Zhao Cheng and his comrades-in-arms who arranged to stay behind also need to stay on the island and be responsible for the usual patrols and vigilance.
After the Spring Festival, the comrades-in-arms who went home for the New Year will return one after another, and they will also go home for annual leave according to the prior arrangement. Although the Spring Festival has passed, Zhuang Haiyang still believes that they can have a good time.
In the final analysis, for these comrades-in-arms who stayed on duty, the overtime pay given by Zhuang Haiyang is also very good!
Finally, Zhao Cheng sent a security team member to drive the boat and send Zhuang Haiyang and his party to the island. And it was Zhao Penglin's bodyguard who sent them to the airport. These bodyguards are also extremely polite to Zhuang Haiyang.
The reason is that Zhuang Haiyang also gave Zhao Penglin's bodyguard team a year-end bonus of one million. So much so that when Zhao Penglin found out, he laughed and scolded: "You kid, do you want to dig my corner!"
In any case, Zhuang Haiyang's generous behavior still made these bodyguards full of good impressions of him. Occasionally, I help with car pick-ups, which seems nothing to these bodyguards. And Zhuang Haiyang travel can also save a lot of trouble.
Arriving at the airport, Ouyang Lei, who accompanied Zhuang Haiyang out, also received air tickets for everyone. Looking at the crowded airport, the little girl who accompanied her on the trip was also very excited: "Dad, are we going to take a big plane?"
"Hmm, we're going to take a big plane to Uncle Zhuang's ranch later, are you happy?"
"Happy! What is the ranch? Is it delicious?"
For the little girl, perhaps because she was often tired of driving when she was born, she seemed to like to walk around. There is no way to stay on the island normally, but now it is rare to have leisure time to play around, so she naturally prefers to live such a life.
On the other hand, Wang Yanming and his wife, for them, their daughter is healthy, and their income is extremely good, and their mentality is different from before. Traveling abroad like this was something they didn't dare to think about before.
And now, they think it should be nice to be able to experience it. Even if some relatives in their hometown didn't understand it, the two couples didn't explain much. The reason is that neither of them has an elderly person to support.
Like the previous trip, this time Zhuang Haiyang still chose to transfer to a direct flight in Beijing. The reason for this is more because they need to spend the night at the airport and visit some friends in Beijing.
Wang Yanming's family alone was invited by Li Sihai and his wife. Speaking of which, the two families are married because of their children, even if they are not related by blood, but the relationship between the two families is better than relatives.
As for Zhuang Haiyang, he was invited by the old man Wang Mingcheng. This time I went to Beijing, in addition to giving the old man a New Year's gift, I was also invited to the old man's house for a light meal. In this case, how can Zhuang Haiyang refuse?
Arriving at the Beijing Airport, seeing Li Sihai and his wife who came to pick up the airport, the little girl was also very excited and said: "Uncle, Eminem!"
As she grows older, her memory improves. What makes Wang Yanming and his wife most happy is that their daughter's intelligence seems to be much higher than that of children of the same age. Even if I haven't gone to kindergarten yet, I have learned simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Perhaps it is this intelligence that makes Li Sihai and his wife even more favored. Upon hearing the news, the couple's children were also speechless. But he didn't dare to say anything, for fear that he would be talked about and urged to marry.
"Lao Li, I'm bothering you again!"
"Seriously, this time you really decided to go overseas for the New Year?"
From Wang Yanming and his wife, it has been learned that this group of people have gone abroad for the New Year, and Li Sihai and his wife are indeed a little surprised. But they also know that Zhuang Haiyang has just bought a ranch overseas this year, and it is definitely impossible not to take a look.
Zhuang Haiyang, who faced the inquiry, did not hide it: "Well, there are a lot of things on the ranch, and I haven't had time to take care of this domestic mess before." It's rare that there is nothing to do during the Spring Festival, so I want to go abroad to deal with some things. ”
"Yes, running at both ends is really tiring. Okay, let's get in the car first and talk later!"
Regarding Zhuang Haiyang's travel, he has been equipped with bodyguards, although Li Sihai felt a little surprised, he didn't say much. As the relationship deepened, he also knew that Zhuang Haiyang was not a simple fishing boat owner.
The Zhenjia salvage company, which is now famous in the domestic collection circle, is the company founded by Zhuang Haiyang. Although on the surface, it is someone else's business. But Li Sihai still knows that the shipwrecks of this company come from there.
Being able to apply for the qualification of private salvage shipwrecks in China is enough to show that Zhuang Haiyang's background is not simple. But Li Sihai would have thought that Zhuang Haiyang had no background at all. He may still rely on his own ability.
After having lunch at Li's house, Zhuang Haiyang also said in a timely manner: "Brother Li, sister-in-law, I already have an appointment in the evening, and I need to visit a few old men." So, I won't be here tonight, and you won't have to wait for me. ”
"It's okay! If you have something to do, go get busy. Lao Wang, you shouldn't have to go with you, right?"
"No, you just have to let him go back to the hotel at night to rest. Tomorrow, we're going to the airport!"
knows that they haven't stayed in the capital for a long time, and the two of them haven't seen the little girl for a long time, so they naturally hope that the little girl will accompany them more. While there is still one night left, it is actually not bad to let the little girl stay with them for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that their children would come back during the Spring Festival, Li Sihai and his family would have planned to go abroad with them to see the ranch that Zhuang Haiyang had bought! As far as Li Sihai and his wife are concerned, their time is actually very free, and there are more things to do at the end of the year.
Will bring souvenirs, left some for the couple. For the rest of the local specialties, Zhuang Haiyang directly borrowed Li Sihai's car and let Hong Wei be responsible for driving, and the group of four people and two cars went to Wang Mingcheng's research institute.
Arriving at the gate of the research institute and looking at the guards standing guard with guns, Hong Wei was also surprised in his heart. As a soldier, he knows very well that in an ordinary unit, it is normal to have guards. Units that can stand guard with guns are inevitably high-level units.
Facing the guard's inquiry, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "There is an appointment! I am looking for Wang Mingcheng Wang Lao, my name is Zhuang Haiyang, this is my ID! Please inform me, he should inform you, right?"
"Yes, but we need a routine check-up, please forgive me!"
"As it should be!"
After checking the vehicle and confirming that it was not carrying any prohibited items, Zhuang Haiyang and his party entered the research institute by the way. Under the guidance of the doorman, the vehicle slowly arrived in front of a small building that was not tall, and several old men had been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang immediately said: "Lao Hong, just stop here! Wait a minute, you park the car, and I will go down with the concubine first." ”
In Zhuang Haiyang's opinion, he couldn't afford to be so warmly received by these old men. So, it's better to get out of the car early and be respectful. Anyway, some of these old men are characters who enjoy special allowances!
The old men who also saw this scene also smiled and said, "This kid still knows how to be polite!"
"Yes, there are only a few people in the world who can let us stand at the door and wait!"
In the midst of everyone's laughter and conversation, Zhuang Haiyang also got out of the car. Holding his girlfriend, the two walked forward quickly and saluted these old men. When many old men saw it, they also smiled and said, "Zhuang boy, is this your girlfriend?"
"Well, a Lingnan native, currently in his senior year at Lingnan University. I used to be in school, so the old men can be unfamiliar. ”
"You kid has a good eye! A high school student, you can find a college student girlfriend, it's amazing!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who was ridiculed, didn't dare to say anything, and chatted with the old men. When Hong Wei parked the car and came over, Zhuang Haiyang introduced it on his behalf. Seeing this scene, an old man smiled and said, "Are you getting bigger and bigger?"
"No way! From next year, I'm going to go overseas. I believe that several old men also know that the high seas of foreign countries are not as peaceful as the high seas of our country. Lao Hong, they are all the elites of my old army. ”
"Well, the elites from our army are still trustworthy!"
After chatting a few words, Zhuang Haiyang confessed to Ouyang Lei, asked him to carry two boxes of fruits and vegetables, and followed the old men into the building. Although I brought a lot of souvenirs, I had to give them away separately.
At this time, bring two baskets of fruits and vegetables to try first, I believe these old men will not refuse. For Zhuang Haiyang, the fact that his salvage company can be so peaceful is more due to the recognition of these old men.
If there are really no old men to endorse him, I am afraid that his salvage company, just relying on the words of Zhao Penglin and others, wants to keep it from being disturbed, and it is really almost hot. After all, the income of the salvage company will really make many people covetous!
